the tank set up is aqua hob 110 with 3 chem pure bags and live rock, a cascade 3 basket canister with bioballs and chem pure bag in each tray, the skimmer I don't know the name but there is a skimmer on the tank, but I have it shut off for the next few days as I treated the tank with marine melafix for one day.

I thought that 1.03 was high for a sw set up but have never done a coral tank so I thought the dude was doing it the way it was suppose to be. When looking at salinity would the .03 mean 30 parts per million.

After doing some study I put the salinity up to 1.029 this morning to make the change more gradual, rather than the lower salinity I had it at.

Now ? is this the nitrite and nitrate readings are just above the 0 mark but the ammon is up to what I consider to high, I have been treating with seachem prime and doing 10-20% wc over the past three days. Should I just leave the tank alone or will the high ammon cause a crash or not.
